Clear Light Photography

Every now and again we have to take ourselves 'cross country' to find the best spot to take photos. It is always a bonus when the subjects are only to pleased to trek along with you... This is what happened a few days ago when we happened across a field of long grass, it seemed to be the perfect place to take photos of Emma and Lucca, to get to the spot that we wanted we had to cross a disused railway line, and trek through thistles and long grass. We found the ideal spot, with great light and plenty of long grass and very few weeds. The final result was well worth the trek..

Every month at Camera Club we have a set subject and an open category. The set subject is designed to challenge us and get us to try out different ways of using our camera. September's set subject was Macro Photography, an independant judge attends our evening and scores our entries and gives us invaluable feedback designed to help us improve our skills. The scoring is done as follows     Honours                                                      Highly Commended                                                      Merit                                                      Entry Level The judging is done on competition standards and is quite daunting when your image is up on the stand being scrutinised. My entries for September were Macro Section- black & white image of a cobweb, taken very early in the morning with raindrops hanging off it creating 'Natures Necklace'     Gained Honours Calendula Flower with baby snail gained Merit - Judges comment was that

I knew right from the start that this was going to be a fun shoot with a great young man. Justin loves skateboarding, playing with his scooter, One Direction and any form of sports. I had a chat about what he wanted to do in the shoot, and he wanted to look cool like a 'Skater Boy'  which I thought was very cute.. Check out those cute dimples.  Angela xx
